I need to wrap this up, and fast!
The job is to show a driveby of a proposed supermarket to depict the signage mounted on the building. The developer is trying to show that the township's standards are too strict, and that the sign will not be visible. So what I was hired to do is to produce two videos. One will show the building with the small signs, and one will show the building with the proposed (larger) signs.
My main question is whether I can do this in pieces and comp it together rather than rendering the wohle thing out twice. IOW, I'm wondering if I can render the large signs in one pass, the small signs in another, and all of the rest (bldg, trees, site, etc.) in a separate pass.
If so, can someone walk me thru the steps or point me to a tut? IE, how do I account for the trees which pass in front of the sign? Does the masking of each separate pass take moblur into account, or will I have weird edges around comped objects? How do I go about precalcing GI in this situation?
Here is a shot to show you the idea. The signs in question are the red ones on the far building.
